Unfortunately, with continued precipitation and warm weather coming, the Elsberry field continues to be too muddy for us to bring vehicles and our club trailer in. Therefore, we're officially cancelling the 3/7 backup date for our first planned launch. While disappointing, this does not come as much of a surprise.
We are still hopeful that things will dry out over the next two weeks and we will be able to have a high-power launch in Elsberry on March 21, which is our next planned date.
Other upcoming events - we have a club meeting at Bandana's on March 10, at which all club members are welcome, and we also have a model rocket launch scheduled for March 14 at Buder Park. One of the topics of discussion at the meeting will be the condition of the field at Buder Park and planning for the model rocket launch. (At the February meeting, we decided to schedule all of the Buder Park launches for the Saturday following the club meeting, to aid with planning - this is why sometimes it falls on the second Saturday of the month, and sometimes it's the third.) Please check the calendar to the right for up-to-date information on all club events.
If you have any questions about upcoming events, please leave a comment here, or email me at danno@danno.org. Thanks!
